This book covers real-time shading systems, their design and how they work. Procedural shading, long valued for off-line rendering and production animation is now possible on interactive graphics hardware. These developments are important for areas such as game development, produ...ct design, and scientific visualization, among others. The authors include examples of techniques for achieving common effects efficiently in a real-time shading language ranging from full procedural shading on advanced specialized hardware to limited, yet surprisingly flexible shading on unextended OpenGL, to modern PC graphics accelerators.

Programming is now parallel programming. This title describes how to design and implement maintainable and efficient parallel algorithms using a pattern-based approach. It includes examples from realistic contexts that illustrate patterns and themes in parallel algorithm design t...hat are widely applicable regardless of implementation technology.

Shading, as part of the creation of realistic computer-generated images, is currently bringing major advances to computer graphics, with important practical applications in computer game design and animation. Shaders are a more sophisticated way of making 3D objects look more rea...listic. While most shaders are created using proprietary shading languages, Sh, a new open-source system, simplifies the shader programming process by making it part of the C++ language. This book introduces Sh and describes how to program a GPU (graphics processing unit) using C++ to implement both basic and advanced shading techniques. Readers of this book will be able to start writing advanced, modular shaders using Sh within a day!
